His availability for the 2014 season will be evaluated in the coming weeks.

It's a significant loss for the Orange. Parris, a redshirt sophomore from Stone Mountain, Ga., was the clear No. 1 option at tight end entering the season. He appeared in all 13 games last year and scored the game-winning touchdown in the waning seconds of the regular-season finale against Boston College, sending Syracuse to a bowl game.

Sophomore Kendall Moore, who has been dogged by minor injuries throughout camp, and redshirt freshman Tyler Provo are two options to replace Parris moving forward.
